Abstract :
Todays ground penetrating radar (GPR) systems encounter a variety of difficulties when applied to the detection of buried antipersonnel mines, e.g., a high clutter level and strong surface scattering. Angular diversity or "multistatic" data acquisition promises for the cost of additional hard- and processing effort high potential to overcome some of the problems. The paper explains the basic idea, illustrates a hardware realization and processing strategies and presents first results
